The Trinamool Congress on Sunday announced candidates for all 42 Lok Sabha seats for the upcoming Lok Sabha election 2024.
The names of the candidates were announced by TMC leader Abhishek Banerjee during a mega rally at Kolkata’s Brigade Parade Ground.
Banerjee, who is TMC’s national general secretary, asserted that the people of the state will give a befitting reply to the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party government at the Centre during the Lok Sabha elections.
“The ‘Modi ki guarantee’ has zero warranty. Only Mamata Banerjee and the TMC keep the promises. The BJP and its leaders are outsiders and anti-Bengal and that is why they have withheld the funds due to the state,” Abhishek Banerjee said in a dig at the Centre.
